Flavor of the Weak
American Hi-Fi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She paints her nails and she don't know
He's got her best friend on the phone
She'll wash her hair
His dirty clothes are all he gives to her
And he's got posters on the wall
Of all the girls he wished she was
And he means everything to her
Her boyfriend, he don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned, Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week

It's Friday night and she's all alone
He's a million miles away
She's dressed to kill
But the TV's on
He's connected to the sound
And he's got pictures on the wall
Of all the girls he's loved before
And she knows all his favorite songs

Her boyfriend, he don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned, Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week

Yeah

Her boyfriend, he don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned, he's too stoned
He's too stoned, he's too stoned

Her boyfriend, he don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned, Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week





Yeah she's the flavor of the week
But she makes me weak

Overall Meaning

The song "Flavor Of The Weak" by American Hi-Fi is about a girl who is in a relationship with a boy who doesn't really care about her. The girl is oblivious to this fact and is committed to the boy, even though he is stoned and plays Nintendo most of the time. She actively tries to impress him with her looks and style, but he doesn't appreciate her efforts, leaving her feeling like she's just the flavor of the week. The singer of the song wishes that he could make her see that she deserves better and that the boy doesn't truly value her.


The lyrics are straightforward and provide a strong contrast between the girl's devotion and the boy's neglect. The song has a catchy, upbeat melody that juxtaposes with the melancholic lyrics. It is a reflection of the singer's inner feelings and observations of the couple's relationship. Overall, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on the dynamics of superficial relationships and the importance of recognizing one's true worth.

Cos sometimes I need something heavier, chuggier, angrier, deeper, sadder, slower or something else. This is one flavour of ice cream. That's it. Probably vanilla.

This was my “theme song” every morning back in high school. Literally every morning when my friend picked me up for school he had this song playing...it was as if we were on a tv show and this song was the opening credits. High school...time of your life that doesn’t last a lifetime
